Review by Tarcisio Moura
PROG REVIEWER

A rather schizo collection, should I say? Here you have all Genesis releases after the Abacab album, except the live albums The Way We Walk part I - The Shorts & part II The Longs. It�s their most popular period (sales wise, of course) in one boxset, plus the one album recorded by the group having Ray Wilson on vocals. As a bonus, you have a whole CD of extras, rare b-sides or unreleased material of the same era.

If you like their pop period, but has maybe only the vinyl copies of them, this is a good buy. The odd CD out is the Ray Wilson one, Calling All Stations. Good or bad, it does sound too different and awkward together with the others. The best part is the extra disc with various curious and good songs (especially the instrumental ones). I�m not quite sure if they are b sides or just unreleased ones, since I never heard any of them, with the exception of On The Shoreline. But the tunes are mostly as good as (some even better than) the ones that made it to their albums and quite worth it to buy this one alone if you can find it.

If you�re in love with latter day Genesis and wants to buy them all in one punch this boxset is recommended. And you�ll get a worthy bonus, plus Ray Wilson�s only CD with them and a great booklet. Good, but hardly essential in any way.

3 stars Genesis 1983-1999 is an excellently remasted look at Genesis at their pop prime. Whereas many people are fighting about compression/loudness/B-sides left off, etc., I will discuss what we have, not wish we had. I think the older albums -Genesis, Invisible Touch - are the most affected by the ... (read more)

4 stars I know this may seem like a diss on Genesis. But i never cared much for Phil Collins. He wasn't as Progressive as Peter..and didnt wanna go into the weird tangents of music. I felt when Peter left genesis wasn't genesis it became a pop band. More radio friendly, more rocky and lost the glitte ... (read more)
